I kinda hate to be this guy, but:
Know this does not exist in any other country
It is unnecessary in any other country
America has entirely constructed its own hell by simply not applying the same appropriate gun control you see in every other developed nation in the world
Edit: and I know you probably agree with me, but goddamn you've just collectively proven as a nation that over half your countrymen will bazooka their feet and the feet of everyone unfortunate enough to be near them, before even contemplating the idea of supporting someone who promises to make their lives better!
Every single big event all over the world has the potential to be a target for a terrorist attack.
Every time you leave your house you have a chance to be hit by a car. It's many orders of magnitude more likely than to get killed by a terrorist attack. Yet everyone still drives cars.
The fear of terrorism has been used to curtail so many liberties. Always as a temporary measure. Draconian pre-flight security screenings? (seriously, not being allowed to bring water?): "temporary". Expansion of the surveillance state and policing: "temporary".
It's time to start asking wether this is all worth it. The fetishization of "security above all" in modern political rhetoric is a bad thing, in my opinion.
In your buzzword filled rant to sound smart and further your own agenda you have succeeded in being completely up your own ass.
Explain your position.
Which you claim is...?
I stated my position quite clearly. Do you suggest some deeper agenda is at work here?
